Delhi girl gets ‘DL 3 SEX’ registration number for scooter ..

December 5, 2021

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) issued a notice to Delhi RTO on Friday seeking change in a vehicle's registration number which contains the term 'SEX'. The matter was brought to the DCW's notice by a girl who bought the scooty recently and got an allotment series on her vehicle registration number which contains the word 'SEX'. The girl informed the commission that she was facing severe harassment due to the alloted registration number series, as people taunted and teased her. Further, she said that because of all this she is facing a lot of problems in commuting and is not able to go out for essential work. Taking cognisance of the matter, the commission issued a notice to the transport department seeking immediate change in the vehicle registration number of the two-wheeler. DCW Chief Swati Maliwal, while issuing the notice, said, "I have asked the transport department to submit the total number of vehicles which have been registered in this allotment series containing the term 'SEX'. It's very unfortunate that people can be so petty and abusive that the girl is having to face so much harrassment. I have given four days time to the transport department to resolve this issue so that the girl doesn't suffer anymore."
